56 million years ago, the earth had a rapid global warming. Here’s what he did with the jirgas

Jirges play an important role in giving flowers fertilizer, which grow in seeds and fruits and reduce our agriculture. But climate change can lead to a similarity between plants and their jirgas, which affects where they live and when they are dynamic during the year. It has happened before.

When the land passed through the global warming 56 million years ago, the plants of dry tropical areas spread to new areas – and so on their animals’ jirgas. Our new study, appeared in Yellow biologyIt shows that this major change has only happened in Spain for thousands of years.

Can we approach the past to learn more about the interaction between plants and jirgas during climate change? That’s what we have come to learn.

56 million years ago a major event of warming

In the last 150 years, humans have increased the number of environmental carbon dioxide by more than 40 %. This increase in carbon dioxide has already warmed the planet more than 1.3 ° C.

The current concentration and global temperature of the greenhouse gas is not only unusual in human history but also does not exceed anything going on in the last 2.5 million years.

To understand how the major events of carbon emissions like ours can affect the climate and life of life, we had to go deeper in the history of our planet.

There was a large, sudden warming event, which led to the release of a large amount of carbon in the environment and sea. This event is known as Palosian-Ausian Thermal Maximum.

For about 5,000 5000 years, a large amount of carbon entered into the environment, possibly by combining the release of methane from volcanic activity and marine sesame seeds. Due to this, the global temperature of the earth increased by about 6 6 ° C and it remained high for more than 100,000 years.

Although the release of early carbon and climate change was ten times slower than today, they had a huge impact on the land.

Initial studies have reported that during this time, plants and animals have changed drastically, especially through major changes where they lived. We wanted to know that the jargon has changed even during this rapid change of climate.

Badlands victim of jirg fossils

We looked at the Jovasam Jarg of Bigorin Basin, Woming – which is a deep and wide valley of the Northern Rocky Mountains in the United States, full of 50 to 60 million years ago.

Badlands of modern bigorin basin significantly expose the fossil rich swims. They were placed by ancient rivers that eliminated the surrounding mountains.

We studied the Jovashim Jirg because we wanted to understand the changes in Jargon. The jirg is invaluable to it because it is in large quantities, widely dispersed in air and water, and is resistant to the bold – which is easily protected in ancient stones.

We used three lines of evidence to investigate the jirg in fossil records:

• The foamy jirgas have been stored in clips
• How the lively plants are planted today, and
• Total types of jirgas forms.

What did we discover?

Our results suggest that the strength of the germination by animals has become more common during this break of high temperatures and carbon dioxide. Meanwhile, the jargon decreased by air.

The air -rising plants still include the humidity of the northern hemisphere, usually many related to wide trees.

On the contrary, the plants planted by animals were related to all traptic palms, silk cotton trees and other plants that usually grow in dry tropical climate.

The possibility of a decrease in air girlfriends was due to the population of the population of the growing plants in the bigorin basin.

The increase in animal -growing plants means that plants were spread from hot, dryer climate regions and went to Bigorin Basin.

Initial studies have shown that these changes in the plants of the bigorin basin were more warm and seasonal dry than the climate – compared to before – or then – this rapid climate change is a break.

Polling pests and other animals possibly 56 million years ago along with the plants they polished. His presence in the landscape helped establish new plants’ communities in hot, dry climate. It has provided valuable resources to animals such as precious prime, small maracles and other small adventurers.

A lesson for our future

When we think about our future, what lessons do you have to offer this ancient climate change event?

The release of large carbon at the onset of the Pilosian-Ausian thermal maximum is clearly the result of large global warming. It dramatically changed the ecosystem in the earth and the sea.

Despite these dramatic changes, most earthly species and environmental interactions have survived. This is likely because the event is at number tenth in the current anthropic climate change rate.

After more than 100,000 years of warm, dry climate, the forests returning to the region were present before. This shows that in the absence of major extinction, the forest ecosystems and their jirgas can still be re -established in very similar communities, even after a very long period of changing climate.

Enough will be quite slow to avoid the rate of future climate change.
